When I was in 4th class in school, our teacher took us on a tour of Granby's sausage factory in the centre of Dublin. When we arrived, the owner of the factory, Mr Granby, greeted us and introduced us to his son, Nigel, who was to show us around the factory and give us an insight into how sausages were made.
Now, the tour was fascinating, loads of gleaming machines, squealing pigs and menacing churning noises. As we finished the tour, Nigel leaned against the balcony over the vast sausage pumping machine and began asking us whether we'd enjoyed our little trip. As we readily affirmed our approbation, poor Nigel fell foul of the shoddy safety regulations rampant in mid 1980s Ireland. The railing he was leaning on gave way and he tumbled headlong into the sausage pumping machine. The result was predictably gory, and it has lived with me to this day.
My handle is a tribute to that brave, brave sausage making man. I still believe that he is happy wherever he is, because he left this world in the form of the one thing he truly loved - the humble sausage.

You sound like a bloody hippy. So what if one of the Ramones has unpolitically correct views. The one you're talking about is Johnny Ramone who is well known as having right wing views. But that don't change the fact he was a great guitar player.Quote:

But what you didn't mention was that lead singer Joey Ramone is a Jewish liberal leftie. He wrote the song Bonzo goes to Bitburg about Reagan visiting a Nazi cemetery. He also wrote the lyric "I wanna steal from the rich and give to the poor".
The Ramones were a brilliant band and without them there'd be no Clash, Undertones, Green Day or U2. The Ramones used write songs like Today Your Love Tommorrow The World with Nazi references to wind up the politically correct hippies. How could they be Nazis with a Jewish singer.

Not too interesting, a fan of this guy.
It sucks big time alright. Maybe I should get rid off all of my roots reggae and Bob Marley CD's because Rastafarians are anti-abortion and anti-gay. But then maybe it's alright to be non-p.c. if you're black or should I say Afro-Carribbean. It's only a crime to be non-p.c, if you're a white Christian of European extraction.Quote:

"Hi, my name's Troy McClure , you might remember me from such films like..."
I thought it was quite ironic that everybody knew Troy Mcclure and he wanted to be known by everybody, but to be honest I like my internet privacy by not having my name on the web all the time. Id say most people that know me here call me Troy and prob dont even know my real name (although 3 deff do). Im still ****ed that James found out though ;) . Speaking of him actually, dont people call you Jimmy down in Skib Mr Greenham? :p Surely you have a facinating story behind your handle? :confused:
That would be PatshQuote:

Mine is short for my long latin religous christian name, which i was named after my grandfather and my grandfather's father, a name which i also share with tenth century pope's, a square in Rome a Galway all star hurler from the 80's, and we won't go into two other dude's i share me name with. But i have been called Sylvo since i was a kid for short by my homie's:confused: .
Hav'nt a clue Dav, in the Gealtaect region of London N21 it's Sailbhstar, or to my Italian workmate's it's San Silvestro. Anyway meself and the Donegal Cuban stopped off in the railway in N4 on the way back from the Londain game in Ruslip and were very surprised to see yer goodself was not bevving away @ the bar in there, where you hiding Dav.:confused:

A few months ago there was a silly juvenile **** on the eircom league board who kept pretending to be me or Conor.Quote:

One day (pretending to be me) he announced that i was going to be a dad, which was untrue.
The real conor read it and announced it here. Well you congratulated me and said it was some co-incidence that my brother had just become a father. By my powers of deduction (just like Sherlock Holmes) you had to know my brother to know that.
PS To everybody thanks for your good wishes at the time :) but nobody is getting their presents back :D

They've always had dodgy politics but I couldn't care less. Incidentally, they released a single in the 80s called Bonzo Goes to Bitburg about Reagan's tasteless visit to an SS war grave memorial thingy, so they're not all bad.

4tothefloor is short for "four to the floor" (never! :D ), which is a term used to describe the beats in house and techno music. There's 4 beats to the bar in most dance music tracks (except Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, and R'n'Bling-bling), therefore four-to-the-floor is a term used by alot of dance music journalists when writing about dance. I've been using it since 1999 on dance message boards, so for convenience decided to use it on here aswell.
Long story,meself and Pat Dolan out on the town one night...............:eek: :eek: :eek:
;)
And used in Northern Soul many years before that.Quote:

Quite imaginative really

The criminal justice bill define it another way didn't it.Quote:
